The Kingdom For Men

Le Male Elixir is my favourite DNA as of now. I've been wearing Hawas Elixir mostly but yesterday i just received The Kingdom. I must say that among all of the most popular inspirations i own (Lionheart, 9pm Elixir, Hawas Elixir) this one is the closest to the real deal smell wise. I used to think Lionheart was the closest but that one has a smokier, mintier profile with a toned down lavender accord. The kingdom is basically Le Male Elixir in another bottle. The kingdom has basically the most accurate rendition of the scent due to the fact that the other clone houses do not get the lavender note down. They do have lavender but The Kingdom has it just right. While the honey is toned down a bit, the rest are there. That said, the performance is definetly not the same as the original. In that aspect, the rest of the inspirations have it beaten by a longshot, specially Hawas Elixir which also outperforms Lionheart by a wide margin longevity wise, though i find lionheart more airy and louder. This gave me a solid 12 hours on clothes and 7-8 hours on skin. I must admit that i had no faith in lattafa's Le Male Elixir rendition but i'm pleaseantly surprised, i definetly need to let it macerate, i'm sure this will turn into something really good in a while. Pretty versatile since it's not as strong as the other inspos and the original. A must own for this type of DNA fans. Now, if you're looking for the best dupe for Le Male Elixir, this is my ranking so far: If you want the closest: 1. The Kingdom 2. Lionheart 3. Hawas Elixir If you want the most wearable inspiration: 1. Lionheart 2. The Kingdom 3. Hawas Elixir If you want the loudest, and boldest: 1. Hawas Elixir 2. Lionheart 3. The Kingdom If you want the cheapest: 1. The Kingdom 2. Hawas Elixir 3. Lionheart 8.6/10

Eternal. Honestly, I’m blown away by Lattafa The Kingdom. It’s not just the scent itself, which is stunning, but also how incredibly well it performs. Longevity and sillage are off the charts—I can still smell it clearly on my skin 12+ hours later, and it projects really reallyyy well too, its not a nuclear bomb but it very well fits into Fragranticas 'Strong' category. The opening is a beautiful mix of mint, honey, and vanilla, with just the right amount of tobacco in the background to add a bit of richness. Occasionally, lavender peeks through, but it’s done in such a way that it adds depth without overpowering the other notes. The whole composition feels balanced and smooth, and it’s one of those scents that keeps you coming back for another sniff. To me, this is about 95% similar to Jean Paul Gaultier’s La Male Elixir. What’s missing? Maybe just a touch of that deeper, more nuanced base that Elixir has, honestly, for the price and everything else it delivers, it’s hard to even call that a flaw. Kingdom is also more minty in top notes but this is something I personally like and prefer more over Elixir. As for when to wear it, this is a nighttime stunner. It’s perfect for dates, romantic settings, or just any evening when you want to stand out. It’s definitely more suited for colder weather, fall and winter for sure, but it could work in the spring too if it’s not too warm. I could even see wearing it for other occasions because it’s just that good, but it really shines in those intimate, after-dark moments. If you’re into warm, sweet, aromatic scents that perform like crazy, this one’s a no-brainer (blind buy worthy). Highly recommended, especially if you’re a fan of La Male Elixir and want something that comes close without breaking the bank.

Alright fellas, listen up. I got this 2 months ago, and when I first sprayed it, I went "what the fuck is this shit !?". It was sooo incredibly minty, there was basically no vanilla, no honeyed sweetness, it reminded me of an Irish Spring soap bar, or toothpaste lol. It smelled cheap. I tried it again this week, and I'm glad I did because it's nothing less than one of my favorite fragrances ever now. The mint isn't overpowering everything else in the opening anymore, and it just mixes well with the lavender to add a clean, fresh touch to the delicious sweetness of that fragrance. And it's not overly sweet either; it's a very pleasant sweetness that feels natural. I really thought there was honey in it, and was shocked when I revisited the notes and found out there was none. The honeyed sweetness that I'm getting comes from the orange blossom it turns out. The vanilla and tobacco add depth and richness to it. It's just fucken amazing. I never smelled the OG, but when I looked up the notes for Le Male Elixir, THIS is what I imagined it would smell like. This is WAY better than Lionheart from Armaf, not even close imo. Armaf's version still smells cheap asf even after weeks of maturing, and it's double the price. Get this, it's like 35 Canadian Dollars, which is probably like 12 bucks in any real currency. 5/5 I'm gonna buy a spare bottle for sure.

It's definitely missing a little bit of the powdery musky depth that Elixir has, but in every other way its about 85-90% similar. I think the biggest differences I see are in the opening and mids but the dry down is close enough for the average nose! Also, I actually prefer the labdanum in this one compared to Elixir's opening. It felt like I couldn't enjoy the freshness of the real one because I found it to be a bit too cloying. The Kingdom is not like that. My favorite part of elixir was more the dry down than the opening anyways, so that's a plus for me. I think I need to wear this a few more times to figure out how long it lasts, but I would be careful listening to people saying the longevity is BETTER than the original. Elixir still lasted longer on my skin than The Kingdom, but this still projects like a beast. (My bottle is fairly new so maybe I need to let it sit longer?) If the depth of that classy, clean & powdery Le Male DNA is your favorite thing about the fragrance, you might be a little disappointed and I'd suggest just to save for the real thing. But if that's not a big deal breaker for you, or maybe you just can't afford it, this stuff is still absolutely worth it! Scent is like a 7-7.5/10 for me but I'm giving it an extra bump up just because it's so worth the money. I'd still rather buy this over the real thing. 8.5/10

Smells absolutely amazing. I can't believe i only paid $28 for this. It's obviously lattafa's clone of le male elixir and we live in a new age of clone quality. Do you really think they're going to take a chance messing up ingredients and ingredient quality when they've been doing this for years, and are literally using a GCMS scan of the original fragrance to make theirs? I'm not even going to try to convince myself this isn't as good as the OG. I tried the OG and i thought it was overpriced for what it was so i returned it. This smells exactly the same to me. It's freaking great. $28 after taxes man. TWENTY EIGHT DOLLARS FOR THIS. Do you remember how cologne used to be if you spent under $30??? Yes there were some great cheapies, but this is, and I don't even care what you think it's on par with some niche fragrances and it's basically free. I don't even know why you would bother getting anything else. Maybe club de nuit lionheart but its on the hype train and is almost double the price. It smells amazing, it performs well, it's just like Le Male elixir. What more do you want. Nobody will be able to tell the difference either close to you or in the air.

When I first bought this perfume, I was very satisfied and it was similar to Jean Paul Gaultier Le-Male-Elixir. But this year, when the weather got colder, I came to wear this perfume again; I really don't liked it. The smell changed to a perfume like Altair by Perfume de Marley and also Liquid Brown by French Avenue. I am surprised that why the smell changed by maceration. I keep this perfume in dark and cold place, but the smell was changed. What I mean is that maceration of this perfume, instead of making it smell better, unfortunately caused structural damage to the notes of this perfume and it lost its beautiful original scent. By the way, I shall say that I kept this perfume in proper conditions and away from light and heat. اوایل که این عطر رو خریده بودم؛ خیلی راضی بودم. ولی امسال موقع سرمای هوا که دوباره بعد از یک سال اومدم این عطر رو بپوشم؛ خیلی توی ذوقم خورد. بویی شبیه به عطر آلتیر از برند مارلی رو به خودش گرفته و نیز شبیه به لیکویید براون از برند فرنچ اونیوو شده. در واقع ماسراسیون این عطر به جای اینکه بویش رو بهتر و پخته تر کنه؛ باعث تخریب ساختار عطر شده و زیبایی اولیه اش رو از بین برده متاسفانه. ا

The Kingdom has a powdery aspect to it that I really enjoy. It's punching way above it's price point. It's in the same league as many designer fragrances in my opinion. This isn't something I've seen in Lattafa, stuff like Asad or Khamrah come off as well done "cheaper" fragrances in their scent. This doesn't smell cheap or synthetic at all. Does it surpass or equate to what you get with JPG? No. The Kingdom gets you in the ball park of JPG Elixir, but has that kind of ME twist that is expected with these clones. Performance isn't as impressive as JPG, but this is a fraction of a fraction of the price. Still, this is an absolute hit. This is probably Lattafa's best fragrance. I also have Rayhaan Elixir. This Lattafa offering is better than Rayhaan's take. Rayhaan Elixir has a certain synthetic quality that The Kingdom doesn't have. Rayhaan lacks that powdery note, the blend is too dark, almost raisiny/prune kinda thing. Lattafa has better structure, it has depth Rayhaan does not have. Blind buy safe, mass appealing, good performance, absurdly good quality to price ratio. 10/10, insanely happy with this.

This fragrance starts out fresh with sage, lavender, and a bit of mint hitting you first... it's got that crisp herbal feel, almost like a garden walk, warming up fast without hanging onto the sharpness. Then the tobacco and vanilla roll in alongside some orange blossom, creating this boozy, smoky middle that's sweet in a good way... makes me think of kicking back with a rum on a chilly night, super inviting but not too intense. As for how it holds up, this stuff sticks around like a champ for 8 to 12 hours on my skin, throwing scent pretty well early on before it dials back to something more low-key a few hours in... spot-on for autumn and winter vibes, fine for daytime work or nighttime fun, but I'd skip it when it's scorching out. People go nuts saying it's basically Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir on a budget, and I agree. Its matching that tobacco-vanilla punch about 90 percent with even stronger staying power. Overall, it's a real winner that's hard not to like, straight up an 8 out of 10 for folks into cozy gourmands during cooler months.

I'm not really to talk about the similarities to the original but about its attributes. I'm 49 , old enough to remember when the OG Le Male came out. The DNA is immediately recognizable in the Kingdom, obviously modernized, and also in a extremely sophisticated way. What really stands out from the Kingdom is how clear each note stands out on its own and integrate itself with one another. It's an extremely well done fragrance, with an addicting aroma and a more than decent longevity. The occasions for use that come to my mind are endless: to school or office, special events, date nights, nights out with friends, church, you name it... The epitome of versatility. I was catching whiffs of it today, and it vaguely reminds me of Armani Code Parfum.. something about the lavender and the sweetness of it.., not the same fragrance but in a similar ball park, very attractive and sexy. VFM: I paid CAD$50 for it on Amazon and it was money well spent. I expect to wear the heck out of it. Highly recommended!

I received my bottle yesterday, and the presentation is great. The box breaks down the notes nicely, and the bottle looks good, though it feels a bit cheap to the touch. However, at this price point, I can't complain. The scent is very close to Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir. (The Kingdom sprayed on right arm / JPG elixir on left to test) It's not a 1-to-1 clone, and I haven't found a true one yet, even with great ones like Detour Noir. However, Kingdom is very close to Le Mal Le Elixir, and I'm really satisfied with it. I sprayed both on each arm, and Kingdom actually lasted longer than the original. Personally after testing 10+ clones and their OG side by side, most of the time I'd rather by the OG because when push comes to shove its way smoother and higher quality smelling (no synthetic). I'm happy to have gotten the Kingdom over OG in this case though because it's smells just as good and smooth. If anything it's a little less sweet than OG which I like.

I honestly thought I wouldn’t like it, as it is missing the honey note present in the original inspiration. I think that’s the reason why I stored it after initial testing from last year. I recently revisited this bottle and I think I might have fallen in love with it. The lavender annoyingly prominent before has now mellowed and blended well with the rest of the notes. The tonka in the base and tobacco mixes so well with vanilla that it’s almost heavenly. The mint leaves helped mellow the lavender. I barely smell the sage note at all, but it is there somewhere. The longevity is crazy as well. Easily lasts me 7-8 hours, I can smell it clearly after my entire shift. And then it’s not until the 10th hour that it becomes a skin scent on me. It easily lasts a day on clothes though. Decent sillage as well! A head-turner for sure. And all that for around 20 bucks is a steal! I’m glad I kept this bottle. Would be a great fall/winter scent, or even date nights.

If "Giorgio Armani - Stronger with you" and Jean "Paul Gaultier - Le male" had a lovechild, this perfume would be it. Sweet, aromatic, yet a tiny bit spicier in the opening, which then calms down but leaves this impressive depth in it. I was hesitant on buying this because Im a woman and "mint" in perfumes doesnt sit well with my skin, but holy shit, Im glad I bought this. I loved the scent of "stronger with you", but it was always a bit too overpowering and the cinnamon wasnt jamming with my own skin scent, so I gifted that to a friend. But this perfume right here??? I paid like 30€ for this, and still smelled it on my arm after sleeping for like 12 hours straight - no maceration, jusr straight out of the box. If you want to smell like a person fresh out of the shower, axe shower gel, a summer well spent, warm tan on your skin - with the promise of incoming autumn and fireplace and warm pastries, then this scent right here is for you.

I’ve really been cold on Lattafa/Maison Alhambra. I find Asad and Asad Bourbon to both be pretty great, but otherwise everything else I have tried by them is a miss. That is until now. I got The Kingdom two days ago and it is phenomenal. This is a fragrance that is generally out of my personal scent wheelhouse. However, it is just an absolutely delicious scent. I immediately loved it upon the first spray. It has strong projection. It lasts pretty much all day and straight out of the bottle. It smelled fantastic nothing harsh, or screechy or synthetic. I was able to smell the JPG that it is “inspired by” the same day and I can honestly say that I like this more. When you factor in the price, it’s a no-brainer. I still am going to be a little cautious when shopping for Lattafa overall, but this is a winner for sure. My bottle was made 07/2025 and I got it 02/2026. It’s a good one!

The opening greets you with a fresh burst of lavender and mint—clean and uplifting. This bright start lingers for quite a while before gradually softening into smooth vanilla and tonka. Throughout the entire wear, the lavender remains present, adding a subtle aromatic thread that keeps the composition refined. I haven’t compared it to JPG Le Male Elixir, but on its own, this fragrance performs exceptionally well. Projection is strong—three to four sprays are plenty—and longevity easily covers a full workday and carries into dinner or a night out. While it’s undeniably versatile and inoffensive, the overall character leans more sophisticated than playful. It may not be the first choice for someone seeking a youthful, trendy vibe, but for those who appreciate a polished, confident scent, it’s a solid pick.

I bought this gem mid-summer where I live, so it was NOT the best time to wear this fragrance outside of the home. I love it so much that I would wear it around the house just so I could smell it. I got this after getting a small decant of Le Male Elixir. It is not a one-to-one clone, but is really close. As others have said, it's a bit fresher in the opening and lacks the honey note of the OG. Otherwise, it is pretty spot on. This stuff is pretty strong. I am wearing it today. I sprayed four sprays total (one behind each ear and one on the back of my neck) and a spray on the back of my hand. Almost every time I move my head, I get a good waft of the fragrance. My wife loves this one on me. If you like sweet fragrances with tobacco, this may be worth a blind buy since it is so inexpensive.

When i First open it and smelled its first sprays i thought i would never like this perfume it had very clear honey note. But as i have previous experience with other ME perfumes i thought it would be nice to macerate it first for a week atleast then i will try it again & review. NOW after a WEEK i reapplied it & its sooooo awesome & addictive, honey note is almost non existent now, it has beautiful prominent vanilla note, its very smooth and amazing Perfume. One issue i have with it is its longevity, it doesnt perform well like other lattafa perfumes (Qahwa, Qaed ul fursan etc). So for me, Scent: 9/10 Performance: 7/10 (4 to 6hrs maybe increase after few more week of maceration) Value: 10/10 Addiction: 10/10 Overall its so good just let it sit for while.

A great cheap alternative to the JPG Ultra Male. This fragrance, while is very similar, lacks the prominent honey note in the OG, which enhances the JPG to a new level. It's a shame there is no honey in this dupe, but the opening is great. A nice mix of lavender and sage, with subtle flashes of mint before drying down into that vanilla and tonka scent profile we all know and love. On the longevity side, I get around 8 hours, with 3 strong projecting. The price for a 94% similar fragrance to the OG is a no brainer, although I do want to try Rayhaan Elixir. Very blind buy safe, trust me this is VERY mass appealing, perfect for colder months, date nights, school, although do not wear this to the gym or you will get crucified.

I bought a decant of this and loved it so much I went ahead and bought the OG le male elixir. It's a very close 1-1 on Le male elixir. The only splitting hair difference I find here is that the ingredients' quality, especially the creamy tonka base isn't as smooth as the OG and this one falls short in performance just by a tiny bit although its available at a fraction of a price of the Le male elixir. Identical from opening to dry down, expect upto 10 hrs of performance with a wide scent bubble for most of the evening. You'll get faint whiffs on your shirt the next day as well. Although I've been told that Rayhaan elixir is the superior blend, buy this if you can't find the Rayhaan and you won't be missing anything.

Beast mode fragrance. Got it on Wednesday and wore it Thursday. Gas station clerk who allegedly didn’t know colognes complimented on this one and he was a solid 3-4ft away from me. Wore it last night to the bar and hooked a milf in set upon ordering drinks. Had her in my lap 30 minutes later telling me how much she loved me and kept biting my neck telling me how yummy I smelled. This stuff is not for little boys... it just exudes confidence and it is the perfect balance between sophistication and playfulness. Easily a 9.5/10... only stuff I can think that might top this is LV Imagination.

Smelled le male elixir, immediately loved it, ordered this the next day. I can't believe how close this is. I'm really glad I bought this it's almost 1-1, last a long time, smells awesome from first spray to drydown to hours later. Everyone I've had smell this also loved it. Also smells awesome out of the box didn't need to sit at all, and the batch was like 2 months ago 2/2025. You can blindbuy this any 100% its a warm vanilla fragrance that I have no problem wearing even in hot weather. Honestly I wear this more to smell it in my arm than to get noticed. Absolute 10/10
